About this property

Kimkeri, Bourton-on-the-Water - sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

Set just a short stroll from the centre of picturesque Bourton-on-the-Water, one of the Cotswolds' most iconic villages, Kimkeri is a traditional Cotswold stone house with a wealth of charm and character. This is the perfect choice for those searching for a peaceful Cotswold escape with plenty of attractions within walking distance.

Once inside you'll find original quarry tiles lining the hall floor, which leads from the front door to the rear of the house, stained glass windows and exposed Cotswold stone walls and beams all adding to the appeal. On the ground floor there's a spacious living room and cosy snug, both with decorative fireplaces, and stretching the width of the house is a fabulous dining/family room, a sociable space with plenty of room for all. To one end is a light-filled dining space with a large dining table set beneath glass roof lights with doors that you can throw open to the patio and to the other a relaxing TV area. On the first floor are two beautiful bedrooms and a bathroom, and on the second floor, a spacious master bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.

After a busy day exploring, the enclosed, sunny rear garden is a beautiful and peaceful spot to relax with a G&T or two, as you listen to the bees busy in the lavender bushes, and perhaps rustle up a delicious feast on the barbecue. Through the garden gate at the end of the lawn, you'll find private parking for three cars, a real bonus in such a central and popular location.

*Dogs: 2 well-behaved dogs are welcome at the cottage at an additional cost each. Please let us know if you will be bringing a dog and we will then revise your booking confirmation. The pet fee is NOT included in your booking fee. A request for an additional fee per pet will be sent to you after you have placed your booking. Your pet fee must be paid for before your arrival date.

The rear garden of Kimkeri is a beautiful south-facing plot with a large, level lawn, perfect for garden games and picnics. It's fully enclosed with an old stone wall to one side bordered by a swathe of fragrant lavender bushes, whilst the other side is a well-established hedge. The large patio boasts a rattan outdoor dining set. Enjoy morning coffee here as the day begins, rustle up an alfresco feast on the Weber barbecue or relax with evening drinks on warm summer evenings. A path leads through a high gate into a small courtyard area, where the owner has a garden shed, and a second gate leads into the front garden. A beautiful pear tree flourishes here, in honour of an original pear tree that was once planted. Raised borders and gravel beds frame the footpath and front gate. There is parking for three cars in a private parking bay for Kimkeri at the rear of the garden.

Great place for my family
What a perfect place, in a perfect location, in a gorgeous part of the Cotswolds! Kimkeri was a lovely cottage and so spacious! 3 really good size bedrooms, 3 sitting areas! There was only my husband and I, and our 2 year old but we would have easily had another 2 adults comfortably stay with us. Very comfortable beds and the kitchen was really well equipped. Bourton on the water was wonderful and it was less than. 5 mins walk from Kimkeri to the centre of Bourton. The bonus was the 3 parking spaces and playground at the end of the road! We would definitely stay here again when we’re back in the Cotswolds.

Home from home
The house is extremely well equipped with high quality gadgets. Central location with parking. It is very spacious with ample room for 6 people, ideal for a longer stay. Arrival and departure times could be improved by adding an hour each end to make it more comfortable. Email contact did not work but phone was answered immediately and issue resolved promptly. Would happily return.

Kimkeri The Place To Stay
Four generations of our family spent a week at this lovely house. Communal areas on ground floor were ideal for family life. Two supersized televisions and large dining table provided great spots for the family to gather. Kitchen was extremely well fitted out. All bedrooms had comfy beds and adequate storage. Rear garden was large and had the weather been warmer would have been ideal area to relax in. House is in an ideal spot to access the village.

A thoroughly enjoyable family break at Kimkeri.
Kimkeri is a spacious, well equipped, clean and comfortable house very close to the centre of Bourton-on-the-Water. The garden and provision of ample private parking were great assets.
